OK good to hear!

I actually really have enjoyed the game itself but you aren’t fucking kidding about the rest of it. It’s truly insane how much friction there is between deciding to play and getting into a lobby.

I known I’ll like the game (the franchise is one of my all time favorites), it just had a lot of technical problems on launch so that’s what I’ve been waiting to see improved. Sounds like it might still be kinda rough based on the first part of your comment.

How’s the game state these days? I’ve been waiting to play until it got fixed up.

That statement is fine in a vacuum, but I think the mega platform almost exclusively marketed towards children should also maybe not do child labor with extra steps. This guy isn’t being reasonable, he’s shifting blame.

For real. I had a project to make two full since player campaigns and it was waaaaaay too ambitious. I’ve always been hopelessly ambitious with game dev stuff and I still am honestly 😅
So fun to hear everyone chiming about doing this back then.

That’s so cool sounding too! I made so many half baked ideas honestly. Tower defenses, single player campaigns (way too ambitious ones), and so many more. It really taught me a lot about proper game dev honestly.

That’s cool! I made tons of stuff but most of it never got finished or released cause I just kept starting the next thing. Probably the wildest thing I ever made was a prototype for a sidescrolling platformer in wc3. It had keyboard movement and ability usage, jumping, a heart counter in the top left, enemies, powerups… It was kind of janky but it worked surprisingly well considering what I built it in.

Hey another kid who grew up wc3 modding! I did a ton of that too.

Ah OK. I saw cirrostratus and cirrocumulus and thought it was the same pattern as the altos

This one grinds my gears too because it doesn’t even make sense.
“No one said nothing” is a double negative. Shouldn’t it be
Everyone:

So does the “alto” and “cirrus” refer to the altitude?
- Comment on I've been replaying Into The Breach lately and stumbled on what I think is an insane power squad. 3 weeks ago:
I really liked this game, but I used all my unlock points on the wrong squads and couldn’t progress any further to get new ones. I wish they hadn’t bound the unlock currency to getting achievements with each squad. It made it so if I bought one I ended up hating there was no shot of getting any money back. Otherwise it’s a great game though.
- Comment on If you enshitify it they will go 3 weeks ago:
Organic maps is pretty good, though it doesn’t have up to date enough info if you want to use it to find restaurants and businesses. I find it’s actually more accurate for things like paths, benches, other outdoor features basically.

Wow, 40 trees! You must have a big property.
I live in the Pacific northwest, so no tropical fruit for me 😭 we’ve got good berries and stone fruit here, though.

It’s a hard time to be an idealist right now, but we’re needed more than ever.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Shhhh, its just the lazy devs who also work super hard to make it terrible. /s
Everyone thinks their game of choice has bad match making, but it’s just salt most of the time and doesn’t pan out when actually tested and measured objectively. If match making was perfect they would win 50% of the time, but perfection is impossible because the system can only work with the players online right now. Those players aren’t equally good every day, either, nor are they equally good against all other players, or on all maps. It’s a moving target.
That doesn’t even touch on cross play, or premade teams, which further complicate it.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 4 weeks ago:
To be fair to the people protesting this isn’t what they’re objecting to. They don’t like tools which were built on theft, which all the major LLMs were. That’s the core issue, along with the fear that artists will be devalued and replaced because of them.

My dad does this so much and I asked him about it once. He said he thinks it makes everything sound very chill and low pressure. I think it makes everything sound passive aggressive, or like it’s a loaded statement🤦♂️

That’s a good manager! I’ve been lucky enough to have some like that, too, but sadly not everywhere.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 5 weeks ago:
Entirely depends on the job, and also some states have more protections than others. “Hustle culture” is really engrained over here though and there can be a lot of guilt for many people around asking for time off, both internalized guilt for the worker and actual guilt tripping from managers if you have a toxic work place.
We don’t have a culture of going on holiday in America like parts of Europe do, so I think it’s not as normalized and there’s often a feeling of pressure to only do it when others aren’t so that the company is still well staffed.
It’s all very toxic, but I think people are also starting to realize how toxic it is in the past several years and there’s more and more acknowledgement between workers at least that we should be taking our time off.

I do wish it was slightly shorter. They just don’t make small enough phones anymore for my taste.
